Royal Commission into Family Violence Anniversary event

In 2016, on 1 April, Victoria’s ground-breaking Royal Commission into Family Violence handed down 227 recommendations, aimed at transforming responses to family violence and working towards eliminating gendered violence, particularly violence against women and children. One year later, a panel of Victorian and national experts organised by Monash Gender and Family Violence examines the progress of government and community responses, the work still to be done and the challenges ahead. Significant progress and commitment are identified while challenges and concerns still exist about evidence, implementation, resources and gaps.
